Unfair ET Artillery Script

[Buckwild]

I was playing at one of the F|A Enemy Territory servers and an enemy FieldOps was calling airstrikes very quickly.

He should normally change to binoculars, Fire,

Change back to normal view by pressing 3 buttons or using mouse wheel.

An airstrike explodes very soon at wherever He is looking.

It was suspiciously fast so I speced Him and I think He was using a one button bind of a script.

His view changed very quickly from normal to binocs and back...

This gives an unfair advantage and is not allowed.

 

And, He was kicking My ass!

So you are confusing me a bit here lol.

 

Airstrike: Is the can you throw.

Artillery: You use bincos to call in.

 

With arty you can call it by just press B and mouse1 at same time and it is basically instant depending how good you are at it.

With can you can only do it so fast, even with script.

 

There is a bug in silent mod where the first artillery shell it explodes instantly upon calling an artillery. (reported this about 2 versions ago no feedback on it being fixed) if that is what you are talking about.

[Buckwild]

He would have to press B again to unbinoc and while specing Him,

 

That didn't seem to be what He was doing.

 

His view changed very quickly from normal to binocs and back...

 

It was on the Silent server though.

[D..X]

get a demo and a finger next time and post it in trouble players 

thanks 

[Zelly]

Yeah if its bincos it is literally instant, like you will only see a flash of binoculars that is completely normal.

It's a script that is allowed on our servers as it's no real harm by using it, just easing up on not making extra work for arty, i use it myself as well, as its good to set quickly arty at specific place at map, without losing focus onto game itself for that time.

 

Basically work of script is that u point with cursor where u want arty, press a button and it will set arty there, instead of pressing binocs then pressing mouse1.

are we talking about this "+zoom;+attack;-zoom;-attack"???

[Bean]

A legitimate tweak, I believe.

[Monoxide]

Are you talking about Jay1? I know with my config which is basically just a few graphics tweaks, I have to hold the "B" down to bring binocs up and then just release it to lower them. It's rather fast to call arty just hold "B", hit mouse one and release "B".

[Buckwild]

Yes,

 

     bind key "+zoom;+attack;-attack;-zoom"

 

Is it allowed or not? 

 

The new silentmod 0.9.0 has the instant artillery bug occasionally.

 

Normally takes about 5 seconds for explosion.

Well, you don't really need to press B again to put down the binoculars, its more of a push to enable type thing, kinda like how you crouch until you let go of C, you don't need to press c again to stand up, and as for the arty, i don't think you would even need a bind to do that, the B+mouse click is really fast already.

Thats not a bug,its supposed to happen on some positions on some maps like supply,and if i recall correctly venice and maybe some others.

[Saint070]

In my eyes its only unfair when its a bind that is not public but this bind everyone so no problem for me.

And what grumpcat has posted is correct in a lots of maps there are positions in the maps that it happens that the arti explodes instantly. 

[Olykiller]

Yes,

 

     bind key "+zoom;+attack;-attack;-zoom"

Yes Buck it is allowed, i have that cmd too

thx to not teach to others how to exploit a bug

well, on different other modes (like jaymod for example), I suppose that we, all players with few skill, knowledge of how to make a cfg or at least who uses such a downloaded cfg, own such a bind. I have me too such a bind in my cfg. I mostly play on jaymod or occasionaly on etpro but the few times I played on silent I never used this way. Of course, I don't wait such a fairness from all on silent and there will always be some people exploiting this flaw. Now, about this bug issue, I fully understand than it's an unfair advantage.. Yet, each mode has its lot of bugs.

 

 

All in all, the best might be to see all this with DD, and in waiting, to report the cases that you might have spotted in our private area under the reason "exploiting glitches" which is afaik forbidden.
